That changed the day Enloe discovered a book of old photos and newspaper clippings in the garage, showing his father, Sergio Sr., and his career in wrestling.

Sergio Jr. never knew his dad wrestled.

“I think he wanted me to find that book,” Sergio Jr. said. “He wanted to see if I liked it at all before he pushed me. Once I was interested, he got serious about helping me.’’

Enloe’s career thrived at Clovis High near Fresno until his sophomore year when the Enloe family moved to Poway after Sergio Sr., a Marine, was transferred to Miramar Marine Corps Air Station.

That meant leaving arguably the best wrestling program in the state.

At Poway last season, Enloe claimed a San Diego Section Division II title and a section masters championship.

If nothing had changed two years ago, Sergio Jr., now a senior for the Titans, would also have a state team championship on his résumé.

Instead, Enloe has never hoisted a state title trophy or stood on the awards stand after winning an individual state medal.

That is what drives Enloe these days as he tries to show his former Clovis teammates, who captured the state title two seasons ago while he was driving with his family to Poway, his career is still pointing upward.

On the same day of the move — a painful coincidence for Enloe — Clovis was en route to winning the state title.

“I kept getting texts from my teammates and I could see they were winning state and I wasn’t there anymore,” Enloe said. “I’d been wrestling since seventh grade and the biggest moment I missed.

“I was mad about leaving Clovis anyway. Missing out on the state title made that drive even worse.

“When we moved to Clovis in eighth grade I didn’t even know where Clovis was, but I knew I didn’t want to leave.”

At last weekend’s 97-team Doc Buchanan Tournament in Clovis, Poway finished third to Clovis and Buchanan and Enloe wound up third after dropping a 5-4 decision in the semifinals.

For the season, Enloe is now 18-2. That includes winning the 138-pound championship against a national field last month in the Reno Tournament of Champions.

“He’s driven because that’s how wrestlers from Clovis are,” Poway coach Wayne Branstetter said. “He comes to the mat and does his work every day. That’s just how he is.”

Yet, as comfortable as Enloe is now at Poway — “My new teammates took me to the beach the first week and that was cool,” he said — part of him still considers Clovis as home.

“I’m more than OK being a Titan,” Enloe said. “I just want to stand on the top row of the medal stand, and I don’t care if it’s as a Titan.

“I think about that a lot. I thought the only way to get there was at Clovis.

“My goal from here on out is to wrestle at a Division I college, be a national champion and help coach at Clovis with my dad.”
